    Museum building of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala. Its style belongs to the neoclassical, it was built in stages following the transfer of the University to Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción. It has been the headquarters of the University in the historic center, of the Faculty of Law and since 1994 it has been the headquarters of the Museum - MUSAC-. It is designed as a place to disseminate the scientific, technological, artistic, historical and heritage knowledge of the USAC, through educational and exhibition activities.

    (Translated by Google) The nicest thing about the place is the staff, they are warm, cheerful and they will probably answer any questions you have about many historical facts of Guatemala, its culture and architecture. It is one of those beautiful places that you don't want to leave, with its fresh corridors, its ancient architecture, its relaxing fountain and almost magical sunsets. The MUSAC not only has exhibitions on the university, there is everything, there are marimba days, cultural events of all kinds, exhibitions on science, photography, Guatemalan art, workshops, guided tours, activities for children and adults, the Library of the Old Book They had a small gift shop but they had to close it ... Visit the museum, support it because almost all of their activities are free, and those that are not are not expensive, admission costs only Q1. They have many more services and have an educational program available for all types of activities for students from primary to higher levels. It is very beautiful, visit! (Original) Lo más lindo del lugar es el personal, son cálidos, alegres y van a responderte probablemente cualquier duda que tengas de muchos hechos históricos de Guatemala, de su cultura y su arquitectura. Es de esos lugares bellos de los que no te dan ganas de salir, con sus pasillos frescos, su arquitectura antigua, su fuente relajante y los atardeceres casi mágicos. El MUSAC no solo tiene exposiciones sobre la universidad, hay de todo, hay días de marimba, eventos culturales de todo tipo, exposiciones sobre ciencia, fotografía, arte guatemalteco, talleres, visitas guiadas, actividades para niños y adultos, la Biblioteca del Libro Antiguo, tenían una tiendita de regalos pero tuvieron que cerrarla...Visiten el museo, apóyenlo pues casi todas sus actividades son gratuitas, y las que no lo son no son caras, la entrada cuesta solo Q1. Tienen muchos servicios más y cuentan con un programa educativo disponible para todo tipo de actividades para estudiantes desde niveles primarios hasta superiores. Es muy bonito, visiten!
